"I like to get out and do this, gives me some exercise, then I can go back in and watch some TV," said Whittemore.

The South Paris area received about 13 inches of snow..

The snow was so deep that Hailey Perry couldn't get her car in the yard.

"Oh I hate it, but you live in Maine you got to deal with it," said Perry.

Across the street, John Ellis was able to clear the snow with his snowblower.

"I haven't tackled snow like this in a while. This is heavy stuff," said Ellis.

In the Shaw's parking lot in Auburn the snow bank was so tall it was almost as high as the building itself.

All that snow has to be cleaned up as well.

"We are going to haul it to our snow dump that we have over in Lewiston and when it's piled up there, it might take all summer to melt. But we have to take care of the facility and give them some parking so we're going to haul this out," said Matthew Callahan with St. Laurent & Sons.
